Shepherd, who was one of the first contestants eliminated this season, will be coming back for one last dance. She predicted her swan-song would be steamy. "Our finale's gonna be hot. All 'Fifty Shades of Grey' on the dance floor," she joked.

"The View" host is still battling through some dancing-related discomfort in her ankles. "My ankles were bleeding, but it's okay, you bleed for the dance, it's good," she said. Her health may not be the only benefit of being eliminated early. Shepherd and Chmerkovskiy joked that if they were still competing, they would be at each other's throats by now.
